I wish I could save that much money!Thanks for the adviceBut you're talking about DACs that cost 5-6x what I'm planning on paying in order to get a used model! I will come out and say it. I am not in the market for a $2-$4k DAC at this point in my life. Maybe in 10 years, and I'll tell you I'll really enjoy it when I get there. In the meantime, it's going to be <$1k, and preferably <$500 for me.

sorry , i didn't know that "money factor" .. in 2020 i hope the kind of dac we use would have disapear... under 1000 $ you could find many good dac such as dac like
ackdack , altmaan attraction dac, or diy dac like audiosector dac or monica dac..
No worries- I didn't say I was cost constrained when I first posted, and I gotta admit that this hobby doesn't lend itself to cost constraints!I'd love love love to have a Chord or a Wadia, but it ain't gonna happen for quite some time. Mind if I ask why your strong preferences for the DACs you mention? The Chinese DACs have gotten some strong press... just my curiosity.
Thanks,
J
i have nothing against the chinese stuff, but i prefer not to spend my money on "NEW HYPE"
because every month there a new one is born , (zaohlu, paradisea,etc..) and you are never sure if it's a crap or a good one.. 1 years old of experiences or more , not too many and to soon to sell at the same time in AUDIOGON is the key for me not to be disapointed..but even like that , i have made some mistake during this last year.....
( i show you this last dacs for their price and analog sounding..)
